we're planning to have a mcast-ix.dn42 somewhere in the cloud at #dn42 for years now…
now we have a pull req with cosmetical issues only: https://git.dn42.dev/dn42/registry/pulls/2572
the whole idea is to consider the following hypervisor configuration:
dn42ix#show startup-config vdc
vdc definition vm-bri
connect ethernet2825 vm-switch
cpu host
image /rtr/ix/bri.img
memory 1024
nic virtio-net-pci
mac cafe.beef.b00b
exit
vdc definition vm-clearnet
local ethernet66602
local ethernet66603
connect ethernet66601 vm-switch
exit
vdc definition vm-jlu5
connect ethernet1080 vm-switch
cpu host
image /rtr/ix/jlu5.img
cdrom /rtr/ix/jlu5.iso
memory 1024
exit
vdc definition vm-lare
connect ethernet3035 vm-switch
cpu host
image /rtr/ix/lare.img
memory 1024
exit
vdc definition vm-nop
connect ethernet1955 vm-switch
exit
vdc definition vm-routeserver
exit
vdc definition vm-switch
connect ethernet1080 vm-jlu5
connect ethernet1955 vm-nop
connect ethernet2825 vm-bri
connect ethernet3035 vm-lare
connect ethernet66601 vm-clearnet
exit
dn42ix# now you can have drop-in replacement vm-s to experiment with like whats it looks a like if the ix is provisioned on a juniper vsrx3 shitload or a cisco nxosv or plain freerouter in software mode or in p4dpdk mode….
then publishing a small report on r/networking on behalf of #dn42 measurements
and probably doing even more crazyer projects/experiment if we settle to have a proper dn42 ix finally with low latency shared vlan between the vms…
like a real ix…
static addressing plan, there is a randomized dhcp and slaac on the subnet but consider picking up a static ip and pere with that:

TBD: add yourself please here while keeping some ordering
*: so your as number xxxx shortened here, the rigthmost part after the 424242xxxx…. this also will be your ethernetXXXX and so on so just remember this by heart XD

it'll be shitload in the beginning but hopefully it could improve the common knowledge….
